Milady,
Asking for data to assess the potential risks of a hypothetical problem is not ignoring the question.
 
Any meaningful risk assessment has to have some "numbers and percentages", even if it's sketchy or anecdotal data, to decide A) how likely the problem is to happen, B) whether that potential risk makes preventive measures worth the time and effort to put them in place, and C) what chance any potential preventive measures have of actually fixing the problem.
 
I don't pretend to speak for His Majesty, but I believe that is what he's asking for.

I don't believe in ignoring hypothetical situations just because they
haven't happened.

I also don't get bogged down in arguments about numbers and percentages.

I had a legal friend who used to say "that's not a concern because
there's never been a lawsuit in the history of the USA about that
before".  

We should consider all possible concerns and in a society of courtesy work to
prevent possible problems.

I do appreciate the listening skills though.
